This just published. Great work by Michelle Oxtoby. Full article: Lower caution, not inhibitory control, predicts gambling severity – a Registered Report www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Naturally, this is an open educational resource: It is free and will forever stay free. We are also considering making it a living book: There are a few areas that we think deserve more attention. If you are an expert on something that you think is missing from this work, please get in touch!
At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...
“Lower Caution, not Inhibitory Control, predicts Gambling Severity - A Registered Report” by Michelle C. Oxtoby, @drcpennington.bsky.social, Richard J. Tunney, & Craig Hedge #accepted
Open science contributes to more rigorous and impactful science. However, little attention is often paid to the benefits that it provides to its users, such as project management and programming skills. Although not its primary objective, these skills may be considered additional benefits supporting the transition to open science practices. Drawing from international perspectives, this chapter will discuss skills that students develop explicitly or implicitly by engaging in open science and their benefits to careers within and outside of academia. It will also showcase examples of how engagement in open science is considered in (academic) hiring decisions, including ongoing debates and areas for (structural) improvement. Ultimately, this chapter will inform educators about the most important open science skills and provide insights into how to strategically build a resume to present open science-related skills convincingly to improve employability, including practical tips and resources.
#OpenScience principles help students gain lots of useful skills that are an advantage on the job market in and beyond academia. Read our latest book chapter where we provide tips for educators to bolster employability through open science: doi.org/10.31219/osf...
Love this!! Have a great time 😃
Thoroughly enjoyed presenting a 3-minute Rapid Talk at #CAGR2025, about our cognitive psychology study. We found that Lower Caution, not Inhibitory Control, predicts Higher Gambling Severity.
Thank you to the best supervisors:

I was already convinced by the PDF argument but you've convinced me about excel, too! Seeing/knowing the structure is important.
Yes, I had the same thought! Makes it harder/more work for someone to run reproducible analyses. But the same could then be said for a read-only excel file...
